Triboluminescence
KJM3100 V2006
A collaborative group of DuPont-led scientists have discovered an innovative way to advance electronics applications through the use of DNA that sorts carbon nanotubes. (Pictured) Unsorted nanotubes in solution appear in black (far left). Conducting nanotubes are pinkish in color, semiconducting ones greenish.
The colour of silver nanoparticlesdepends on the shape of the particles.

An anterior view of the weevil Pachyrhynchus argus, a small beetle found in forests in north-eastern Australia. Its body appears a metallic green colour from all angles thanks to a photonic crystal structure that resembles opal. (Credit: Andrew Parker)
Beetle perfects artificial opal growth
The vivid colour comes courtesy of thin, flat scales which occur in patches over the beetle’s body. The scales consist of an outer shell and an inner structure that contains layers of 250 nm diameter transparent spheres.

Emission spectra
In general emission spectra of gases are more narrow than for solids. Due to low density (fewer collisions) in gases.

Colour centres (F-centres)
The unpaired electron which produces color by light absorption into excited states does not have to be located on a transition element ion; under certain circumstances it can be located on a nontransition-element impurity ion or on a crystal defect such as a missing ion. Both of these can be the cause of color centers.
•If an electron is present at a vacancy, we have an "electron" color center •Missing anion•Hypervalent impurity
•If an electron is missing from a location where there usually is an electron pair, we have a "hole" color center.
Many color centers are known, but the exact color causing mechanism has been established in only a very few instances. One of these is the purple "F center" or Frenkel defect of fluorite, one of many types of color center which can form in fluorite. Figure 3A is a two-dimensional representation of the CaF2 structure. There are several ways by which an F- ion can be missing from its usual position: this can occur during growth or when energetic radiation displaces an F- ion from its usual position to another point in the crystal; we can also create such centers by growing fluorite in the presence of excess Ca, or by removing some F from a crystal by the application of an electric field.

Charge delocalization and molecular orbitals
Chemical bonds have usually excitations in the UV rangeConjugated systems results in delocalization of electrons, and absorptions in the visible spectrum.HOMO-LUMO transition
In organic materials: The chromophore (Colour bearing) is the part of the molecule that is responsible for the colour.Auxochromes (Colour enhancers) may change the colour significantly (Electron donating or withdrawing groups)
Acid/base indicators
Photo induced transformations (retinal, cis/trans)

KJM3100 V2006
Charge transfer
SapphireBlue sapphire: Fe2+ and Ti4+ in Al2O3Adjacent Fe2+ and Ti4+ gives the colour by photoinduced oxidation/reduction:
Fe2+ + Ti4+ Fe3+ + Ti3+

Metals and semiconductors
Best described by band theory
In metals there are a more or less continous band of allowed energiesMetals are often described as “free electron gas”, but also here band structure must be taken into account
21
KJM3100 V2006
From the isolated atom to band structure.
Large electronic interaction between energy levels: broad bands (e.g. outer electrons of closely spaced large atoms)Smaller interaction: narrow bands (inner electrons, lager distance between atoms)
KJM3100 V2006
At 0K all energy levels above the Fermi level are empty.
In metals all energies/wavelengths can be absorbed due to the empty levels above the Fermi level.
Why, then, are metals not black?
Metals are “shiny” due to an absorption/re-emission process

Why is metal powder often black??
